Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III which preceded it. The bodywork however was more angular and streamlined than that of the preceding LI models. Like the TV Series III, the headset housed a keyed ignition/light switch in the space that the standard LI had a simple kill switch. The SX200 had improved performance and gearing over the previous TV200 models. The SX is the quintessential Lambretta, they are extremely prized by collectors and the SX200 with its own uniquely styled panels and powerful motor is the absolute top of the scooter tree.
According to Innocenti production records this superb example was produced in late 1966. A standard 200cc, it is painted in correct colours, having been restored by a prominent member of the Lambretta Club d’Italia prior to its import by Scooter Emporium in 2016. Prior to that the ‘Foggio Complentare’ shows only 2 previous owners in Italy with a change of keeper in 1968. After the restoration and prior to import it was on display but never used on the road. The numbers appear correct as does the specification while the only notable upgrades are a 12v ignition and a more modern but correct size Scootopia 20mm carburettor. The original Dellorto SH1/20 carburettor is included in the sale. The panels all appear as original and fit well. The scooter fired up readily at time of consignment and in addition to the original Italian documents, it comes with original Italian ‘Targa’ MO number plate from Modena, Bologna, and numerous invoices for maintenance since 2016.
